I've got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I'll cheer them on in their dreams.

I am a huge, huge Ronnie Milsap fan. I have been for a long time.

As a new artist - I don't care who you talk to - I think everyone would agree, it's hard to get your expectations right.

I always loved LeAnn Rimes and especially Clint Black for his soulfulness. As I've gotten older, my influences have broadened - John Mayer, Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Beatles - all of these artists have somehow been a part of my development as a songwriter.

My dad said 'When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life,' and I agree with that.

I believe when you meet the right person it clicks, and you both know and you start making it work, you know?

I've got some crazy, stupid big goals. I really wanna headline arenas. I wanna have such a big crew that we've got to have 20 or 30 buses on the road because that's how big the show we're putting on is.
